With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)

It’s like they tried to make that Ellsworth carbon as fugly as possible. Job well done.
Nasty tyre size, nasty paintwork, nasty tubes. Ticks all the niche boxes.
those Chrome shoes are Hogs from skateboarding yesteryear, happy days
Mmmm, that Bianchi, I’ve got a soft spot for chromed lugs.
I genuinely like that Elsworth! But then they do call me Buster Gonad…
Did Singletrack see any wide, flat, CF, DH bars, in the bike world pipeline anywhere?
Wide, flat CF DH bars? I can’t say I did. There’s the wide Salsa Whammy in 11deg with zero rise that’s an ‘all mountain’ bar and there’s the Race Face SixC in a low rise. There’s probably something out there if you’re that keen…
Thank you. Monkeylites are 710mm, SixC are 725mm….just need a little bit more
Mmmmmmmm
Tweeeeeeeeed :-D
CO2 canisters… that’s got to be wrong hasn’t it?
Surely we can manage without them…….
